Don’t quite know what to make of this juxtaposition of the Conversion of St Paul with Burns Night. But we made good use of it with the congregations of Holy Trinity, Stirling, St Saviour’s, Bridge of Allan and St Mary’s, Dunblane. A good Burns Night had by all – with our friends from the Diocese of Meath and Kildare in the Church of Ireland. Bishop Richard tells me that we have known each other for 39 years so it is hardly a voyage of discovery. But our groups sat in a circle and talked today – and explored how much one can learn from a place with is like yet unlike.
